When I saw this post on my dash, it kept disappearing every time the site finished loading. It had nothing to do with my blacklist extension, all evidence of this post on my dash vanished. I had to go to the blog of the person I’m reblogging it from DIRECTLY.
If you can see this post at all, even if it’s for a split second, try and like it and reblog it! Don’t let this post be hidden!
Congress has set out a bill to stop the FCC taking away our internet. PLEASE SPREAD THIS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.
The internet is the most efficient and used information network today. It blows watching televised news programs and reading newspapers out of the water. It’s very common for dictators to oppress any means of spreading information so the people can’t, educate themselves on the truth, organize, and rebel.
Just thought I’d remind people of this with the FCC vote literally DAYS away. It’s definitely not coincidence.
The only reason he wants to get rid of the internet and take away net neutrality is because then he can control it. So if you try looking up bad stuff about trump, it wouldn’t show up. This is against the laws!!!
REMINDER: INTERNET ACCESS WAS DEEMED A HUMAN RIGHT BY THE UNITED NATIONS IN 2003. TAKING AWAY INTERNET ACCESS IS A VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS.
Someone fucking shoot his ass already please.
DO NOT FREAK OUT IF THE NET NEUTRALITY BILL IS PASSED ON THURSDAY.
Guys, there are only 5 days until the FCC votes. The FCC vote on December 14th IS NOT THE DEATH DAY FOR NET NEUTRALITY!
The FCC votes then whether they will send their proposition/bill to Repeal Net Neutrality to Congress/The Senate for them to vote on.
The FCC CANNOT PASS/MAKE LAWS. The reason we email the FCC members was for making them vote to save Net Neutrality and vote against the repeal of it.
If enough members of the FCC vote against the proposition to repeal Net Neutrality, then it will not go up to The Senate/Congress to be officially voted on.
Important Information on USA Government:
•In America, The Legislative Branch is made up of Congress.
•The two main law making/passing parts of Congress are The Senate and The House Of Representatives.
•The FCC is not apart of Congress, therefore they cannot make/pass laws.
•There are 435 members in The House Of Representatives.
•There are 100 members in The Senate.
•The Senate is considered to be higher up than The House Of Representatives.
•According to some articles and informative post I’ve found, 250/435 members in The House Of Representatives have been said to have been “bought out”. This means big business companiesthatwant the repeal of Net Neutrality paid them money to vote for the repeal. ((Information like this for The Senate is unknown, but if I find out I’ll update this post/make another post))
((More information follows in smaller text, do not skip please!))
This is why the importance of calling and emailing both sections of Congress ((The House Of Representatives and The Senate)) is CRUCIAL TO SAVE NET NEUTRALITY!!!
We have to try and persuade our Representatives in The Senate and The House Of Representatives to be on our side if we want to save Net Neutrality!!!
Sad and Unnerving Realizations:
•America’s government mainly ignores it’s people and our opinions.
•Big Business and Money is clearly more important to most people in power in our government.
•Net Neutrality gives people freedom online, it lets users express themselves freely online, whether they are looking for help, finding friends, looking for a relationship, raising money, or creating a small business.
•Freedom is a natural right, not a privilage given at expense.
•Most users online, which is mainly social media, are to young are to poor to pay fees just so the website/video/specific web page on a website will load.
•Suicide rates will rise for those who loose contact with friends and lovers who they communicate with online. They will loose contact with people who can save them if they don’t have anyone in real life to turn to. That includes people in other countries around the world who loose contact to those in America.
•Fandoms (not all) can/will die out and loose their voices.
•It will be harder to share opinions, art work, OC’s, Ships, and OTP’s with others in your fandoms.
How you can help in America:
•Peaceful Protesting.
•Emailing your Representatives and Senators.
•Calling your Representatives and Senators.
•Sign Petitions.
•Spread the word online and in real life with friends, family, and followers.
•Translate this post and other information for those who don’t speak english.
How you can help outside America:
•Most online petitions allow people online from various parts of the world to sign them.
•Spreading the word online and in real life to friends, family, and followers.
•Translate this post and other information for those who can’t speak english.
•Contact Representatives/Senate without knowing facts, having supportive details, or doing research
•Do nothing to help
Some Relieving Information:
•December 14th is NOT the death day of Net Neutrality!
•We still have time to save it! The FCC just votes on officially presenting the proposition to repeal Net Neutrality to Congress on that date.
•We will still have Net Neutrality for Christmas.
•If we have a majority votes against the repeal in the FCC/House Of Representatives/Senate we will save it.
•We have the ability to boycott companies/ISP’s who cause problems if the repeal passes.
•There’s always a chance/hope for reviving it in the future, we are the generation that wants it safe. We can bring it back if we loose it even if it takes a long time.
•We can still be able to text message through phone numbers/emails and communicate through online games and servers ((not websites, downloadables like overwatch, minecraft, etc.)).
•Apps will probably be left alone since they aren’t websites and therefore have different rules
•It lets ISP’s/Companies/websites CHOOSE to cause certain places to go to the slow lane, some may not change if they like how things are now.
•Less people online means they make less money instead of more like they want too.
•WE STILL HAVE TIME TO SAVE IT!!!

Please reblog this information despite what your blog is or where you live. TRANSLATING IT AND SPREADING THIS TO NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING FOLLOWERS HELPS TOO!!!
We just hit 1,000,000 people signing a petition to save Net Neutrality.
Let that sink in for a bit.
1,000,000 people.
And who told them to sign it?
Their Facebook friends, Tumblrs they’re following, maybe a YouTube channel they follow, maybe a talk-show host?
Now imagine, just for a second
If a corporation had said something
Or a famous music or movie star
If they’d been like “Yo we support Net Neutrality dawg word up”
Could you imagine how many more than 1,000,000 signatures that petition would get?
If Lady Gaga, who can get 1 billion views on YouTube faster than any other human being alive, said “Hey, Net Neutrality is a really good thing, go sign a petition to fight for it”
Or if McDonald’s had Michael Jordan go “If you’re thinking Net Neutrality is a bad thing, stop it. Get some help.”
Like man, such a small effortless thing they could potentially do
And it’d create a ceaseless avalanche of freedom fighters
Fighting for internet rights n shit
This post doesn’t really have a purpose I’m just thinking out loud
And then typing what I say out loud into a Tumblr post
A whole bunch of senators have signed and sent a letter to Ajit Pai, demanding him to once again delay the FCC’s vote on a net neutrality repeal until he comes clean about his sh*t. The letter even called
out
the FCC on their use of bots to unfairly tip the balance in favor of the repeal.
Your voices are starting to pay off, but the battle is far from over. If you haven’t done your part yet, please contact your senator or local representative and let them know how much you DON’T WANT net neutrality to be repealed.
Don’t stay silent! Positive change doesn’t come from apathy or inaction. If you keep this up and then some for as long as necessary, you guys could win this battle and stop this looming threat on an open internet.
this Thanksgiving, you should all be thankful for having the internet the way that you do, and not like this.
however, if you don’t vote, this is the future that’s in store for you.

Jeeze, no wonder I never meet anyone online that lives in new zealand.
Sure this is not mobile? I mean wow, having to pay limited time slots? It’s like the dial-up days but worse I guess. Still sucks you have to deal with that level of exploitation.
Everyone, especially to all my American followers, this is a really serious issue that we ALL need to take action against!
Net Neutrality is about to be taken away, removing our freedom of browsing through the internet however and whenever we want by placing paywalls and having our every move watched. The way we access the Internet on a daily basis could very well be changed for the worst for the sake of satisfying the greed of companies and other people with power.
But the good news is that YOU can do something about it!
In the description below this video I’ve shared, there’s a heck-ton of information on this issue!
You can call your representatives, write letters to the FCC, and most importantly…VOTE!!! As well as many other things. But please remember to be civil when doing any or all of the above. They can listen to you less if you act emotionally, so please try your best to stay calm and be mature about all of this.
PLEASE SPREAD THIS POST AROUND! Let everyone and your fellow American users know what’s going on! This is a VERY serious issue that could possibly affect the whole world if other countries decide to follow suite, but we as a collective can stop it by using our voices and the tools I’ve mentioned above.
Hey Everyone!!! Thank you for spreading this post around! Reminder that we have until December 14th to do what we NEED to do to fight for Net Neutrality!
Please keep spreading this post around! Sign the petitions, call your senators, text to resistbot, and DON’T FORGET TO VOTE!
🚨🚨🚨
This is why we HAVE TO FIGHT!!! Because once Net Neutrality is gone, it may never come back!!!
🚨🚨🚨
We have until December 14th. Please keep informing your friends and spread the word. The internet is our home and it will be taken away from us unless we FIGHT BACK!!!
Please guys, if Net Neutrality gets taken away, we won’t be able to do out most favourite things anymore. We won’t be able to watch out favourite youtubers, or play our favourite games, or talk to our internet friends anymore! YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO DO ANY OF THESE THINGS!!! That’s why we HAVE to fight!!! The internet is our home, and it’s about to be taken away FOREVER!
But YOU can do something about this! Even just signing these petitions will be of great help!!! We are not going to give up! WE CAN DO THIS!!!
